Long Black Line Lyrics - Overstep - Mike Gordon

I've never seen a granite bridge this high 

leaning on the ocean side 

Crushing snow in the salty fog 

I'm walking on the long black line 

I'll never swim in those quiet crashing waves 

or steal another rain washed kiss 

or surf the swirling notes around my half done songs 

So far above the ocean mist 

My alter ego flies and swoops down toward the coastline 

to splash the crest where tidal waves collide 

But smashing on the rocks, I watch my ego die in terror 

My spirit walks the long black line 

I stomp on rocks and scuff this muddy trail 

Try to kick these spinning thought I've known 

Like how we never bought that rolling hill 

Or built your dream chalet of stone

Like a last thought, a stone rolls away 

Catches ten more down the cliff they wind 

Cycloning clay avalanches me downward 

Demolishing the long black line
